Mr P
A very interesting link. If DH's charge of misconduct is upheld at his appeal tribuneral could this be linked to here:
GROUNDS FOR ACTION
1. The Certification Officer will consider whether it is appropriate for him to investigate the financial affairs of a trade union or employers' association if it can be shown that any of the following circumstances exist:
that the financial affairs of the organisation are being or have been conducted for a fraudulent or unlawful purpose;
that persons concerned with the management of those financial affairs have, in connection with that management, been guilty of fraud, misfeasance or other misconduct;
It also states in Para 37a
Investigation of financial affairs
37A. Power of Certification Officer to require production of documents etc.
(1) The Certification Officer may at any time, if he thinks there is good reason to do so, give directions to a trade union, or a branch or section of a trade union, requiring it to produce such relevant documents as may be specified in the directions; and the documents shall be produced at such time and place as may be so specified.
My bold in both cases
